How to wash soft toys with bells and squeaky parts inside?

[AJC]

I put DS's through the machine too, depends on the toy but sometimes in a delicates bag. They all come out ok, I just give them plenty of time to air.

Put them through the machine, in a pillowcase for extra protection and / or on a gentle cycle if you want, they should be fine

[Swoop]

Ooh, that's good to know, I've never been game to put them through the washing machine - DD's toys are off for a full day spa tomorrow now i know that

[MummaSue]

Yeah, i stick things in the washing machine all the time and they have all worked out fine.

It's funny seeing some of DD's toys hanging up to dry by their ears

Yep, run them through the wash - they should all be constructed to be dribble proof anyway.

Stuff that's battery powered though, I get a toothbrush or nail brush and use soap flakes and water to give them a scrub and plenty of time in the sun.
